Bettye LaVette is an immensely talented singer who went largely unnoticed by the industry until her 2005 album, I've Got My Own Hell to Raise. She is best called a soul singer, but her style crosses genres such as gospel, Motown, rock, and funk.

This is my middle name and I constantly get remarks towards it. Most of the remarks are directed towards the spelling mostly. But a lot of people do find the name very cute when they say it & it does come with a lot of nicknames. Sometimes I wish I would constantly go by Bettye because it's just that cute when you say it.
